The Wheel on the School

We finished reading The Wheel on the School today. That was one of the longer books that we have read this year but has a wonderful story and so it was not hard to keep reading. Lina dreams of storks coming to Shora and then gets all the other children involved and through that they make some friends in the village -- Janus, the man who lost his legs by a shark bite or so the rumor says, Douwa, the old man who they think is crazy when he goes onto the boat in the dike with a saw but really he knows where a wheel is; Grandam Sibble, who remembers when the storks came to Shora as well as some other friendships that form.

We found our storks and so J made a school and added a wheel and then we put the storks on top of the school.
